The Legacy (Wheeler Large Print Book Series (Paper))

Rating:
Summary: What a piece of garbage
Review: A halfway-decent plot concept ruined by Mr. Frey. This book is plagued by bad storytelling and poor research. Numerous factual errors about the JFK assassination and the US intelligence community force the reader to questions Frey's credibility as a writer ... he probably cranked out this piece of garbage in a weekend.

Summary: a pure non-stop experience
Review: A lot of books are called themselves non-stop page-turner. Trust me, I read many fictions during my lifetime and this book is definitely a non-stop one. I finish it also in one shot during my trip. I just can put it down on train, on my bed. Also, don't worry that this is a financial thriller, the only thing relating to finance is that our hero is a trader, all other stories are totally about the JFK tape. I would say this is like a David Baldacci novel, only the action is much quicker.

Summary: Great premise, bad execution.
Review: A tape proving the conspiracy theory in the Kennedy assassination was an intriging premise, however, the execution of the idea was so contrived that it deserves 2 stars - at best. Within 10 minutes of being informed of his father's death and taking delivery of the tape, the hero is running around New York being shot at, bouncing off taxi cabs and having his apartment blown up. Everyone is a good guy, then a bad guy, then a good guy. Don't bother, this is just too unbelievable to be enjoyable.

Summary: Excellent, fast past, suspense, edge of your seat thriller!
Review: A very interesting take on the Kennedy assassination. Not a far fetched theory. Fast paced, lots of suspence. Just when you think you know what is happening, and who are good and bad, Frey changes it up!!! Awesome story, would make a great movie! Definitely worth a read!

Summary: More of an action oriented novel than a thriller
Review: aka Absolute Proof. Book does make compulsive reading but some of the situations that Cole Egan encounters suits a JAckie Chan type of screenplay rather than one in the style of Forsyth or Follett.

Summary: Ughhhhhhhh...
Review: All right, I've had it. I have officially had it. I have had it with Stephen Frey's repugnant dialogue, cliched characters, implausible plots, and refusal to research anything outside the financial world. All of which come into play in his latest offering, The Legacy. We are asked to believe so many ridiculous events and characters that it ultimately becomes far too much for Frey to ask of his readers. Even Frey's always interesting description of the high-pressure enviroment of a Wall Street trading company isn't enough to save this one.

Summary: From The Grassy Knoll....The Legacy is on target!
Review: As a student of the different JFK Assissination conspiracy theories for years, I found Stpehen Frey's The Legacy was a fun, "can't put it down" read. If you've tried to imagine what would happen if someone ever stumbled across the truth of 11/22/63, you will enjoy this book. If you enjoyed The Firm, you'll love The Legacy.

Summary: caveat emptor (reader beware)
Review: Cole Egan finds that his dad left more than a videotape of the Kennedy assassination for him when he died. He also left behind a team of killers intent on getting the tape at any cost.
Will Cole outsmart these killers or will he fall victim to the legacy?
Stephen Frey exploded from the blocks in this fast-paced novel, but ended up sputtering. Cole Egan develops streetsense from
who-knows-where, everything going according to plan for him. The ending is incomprehensible, with the reader left wondering who killed Kennedy.
Forget The Legacy; read the newspaper.

Summary: Someone on the Grassy Knoll....
Review: Cole Egan, a bond trader in New York, obtains a videotape of John F. Kennedy's assassination. This tape proves the second gunman theory is true. The real story is about the various forces that want to keep this information from the pubic. Many of the reviewers wish it would delve into the assassination plot, but that is not the author's plot. In Cole, we have a vulnerable character that has had an unusual past and uncertain future. He is added and deterred by many well-constructed character throughout the story. The story is fast paced and would make a great movie. The only drawback is the sappy ending.
